SPORTS GIST Lawyer Nicholas Opiyo claims URA charged him Shs400K for a single United jersey
Human rights lawyer and the boss of Chapter Four Uganda, Nicholas Opiyo, says he gave up an imported gift, a personalized Manchester United third kit, over unfair taxation.
This remarkable collection reverberates with Kipchoge's proud Kenyan heritage, notably embodied by the recurring color red, which pays homage to the Nike Kenya kit he wore with pride as he clinched his first gold medal.
A distinctive touch is added through the sock liners embedded in the collection footwear, as well as select apparel items, which bear the official time of Kipchoge's triumphant 2003 5,000-meter win: 12:52.79.
A visual marvel within the collection is the graphic print of Kipchoge's own handwriting, which boldly states his empowering mantra, "No Human is Limited".
This phrase is imprinted on the medial midsole of each shoe and adorns each apparel item, serving as a beacon of inspiration for runners to overcome their limits.
In addition to these visual elements, the Dri-FIT tee encapsulates Kipchoge's optimism with a quote that encourages a positive perspective on life: “Let us imagine that we are in a garden. Let us focus on the flowers and not the weeds.”
